Suitcase (Keb' Mo' album)
Encyclopedia
Suitcase is the eighth studio album by Delta blues
artist Keb' Mo'
(real name Kevin Moore) released in June 2006. Suitcase sees Moore re-unite with producer John Porter
who helped Moore put together his first few commercial releases up to Slow Down
, where the two started working on projects with others. In this lieu, Moore worked with a variety of producers gaining a varied production experience, along with producing himself. In this time, Porter (who even prior to collaborating with Moore on Keb' Mo'
was a highly experienced producer) moved into new areas of production and produced artists such as Taj Mahal
, Bob Dylan
and others. The critical and consumer response to this album is higher than the previous few albums by Moore and this can be traced to the reunion of the two, among other factors.
One of the songs, "I See Love", is used as the theme song to the CBS television comedy series Mike & Molly
, which debuted in September 2010.
